AUG 4 09 (Dear) Rocky's family... It came to Rocky Marciano Memorial Group attention that we are stopping construction of the statue, that is not true. We simply wanted Chicago or Boston (Brockton was to get bust, also of Hagler), so more people could see him. We did not, EVER, threaten physically anybody at WBC. But we will be filing lawsuits against them for copyright infringement, they used our image property without permission & then some... You can read more on: myspace.com/rockymarciano it will tell you what happened, somewhat, also it will explain you THAT ROCKY MARCIANO STATUE IS OUR ORIGINAL CONCEPT, IDEA, except 24 feet non-sense. We only wished, respect, understanding, NOT TO JUDGE US, NOT TO CALL ANYBODY CRAZY, SHAME ON YOU. Especially Peter Marciano Sr. This gets us nowhere, thus statue will not be erected on time. We also wanted to donate over 50000$ for the statue, now you'll not get one penny, all we ever wanted is THANK YOU ROCKY MEMORIAL GROUP! Rocky's siblings will not hear from us again without apology! We are not Rocky zealots but good fans who cared! Sincerely/Seriously p/s 24ft statue, where is the greatness of a man of smaller stature in giant that will corrode over time? We have experience with Katyn memorials, we know what is good what is bad material, especially what goes where in different parts of the world, climates are different. So un-natural, Rocky would have never approved of this circus! We hope Rocky statue will be good example, inspiration to all, young & old! Mark Elija & Rocky Memorial Group WE ARE VERY HURT & DISAPPOINTED! THANX A LOT ROCKY FAMILY, BROCKTON & FANS! LEARN TO RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE'S TIME, EFFORTS, CONTRIBUTIONS! DONT BE SO UNGRATEFUL! IMAGINE YOUR CITY WITHOUT STATUE, WITHOUT US, IT WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED, NOT EVER, AFTER ALL YOU DONT HAVE 10$ TO GIVE ON YOUR MOST FAMOUS FIGHTER, HOW ARE WE TO REACT AFTER BEING IGNORED, WE TRIED NICE WAY, YOU GAVE US FINGER AS GRATITUDE!
